SCBWI Oregon: Level Up! with Uma Krishnaswami

SCENE AND SUMMARY: HOW TO SHOW AND TELL ⭐ We’re often taught to “show, don’t tell” but what does that really mean? Where does storytelling fit in? Why not sharpen both sets of skills? Examine how we write scenes, how and where we place them, and how we link them with summary to create story. ⭐ Uma Krishnaswami has been writing and publishing books, poems, and short stories for young readers since the last century! Her story collection, THE BROKEN TUSK, has been in print continuously for twenty years. Uma’s historical middle grade novel, STEP UP TO THE PLATE, MARIA SINGH, is a South Asia Award Honor Book and a Junior Library Guild pick. Her chapter book, BOOK UNCLE AND ME, is on the USBBY Outstanding International Books list. Uma teaches Writing for Children and Young Adults at Vermont College of Fine Arts. She lives in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. ⭐ Registration closes October 6th. (This webinar will be recorded and available to view for one month for registered attendees.)
